Russian Line Artillery Limbers - Perry 28mm
A couple of limbers for the Russian artillery this week. These are Perry models, which come with a more complete set of tack than some of their earlier limbers. Once again I used Gale Force 9 3 stand rope. 50x150mm bases. The idea for these was actually to add some plumes and use them as limbers for the Guard Horse Artillery, which I may still do, as I like to have all my horse artillery at a minimum to have limbers, though stretching that to all artillery would be very expensive!

Russian Line Horse Artillery - Perry and Commissar 28mm
Russian Line Horse Artillery this week, from Perry and Commissar Miniatures. The two guns on the left are Commissar - I believe I bought them before Perry released their own Russian Horse Artillery, which are the four guns on the right. The Commissar figures are slightly smaller and have gloves, but otherwise roughly compatible.
Russian Horse Artillery wore the same horsehair crest helmets as the Russian Dragoons, switching to Shakos in 1814, which was after most Napoleonic actions involving Russians had concluded.
